Thank you so much for including how this was done!

[@jakenousomme5305]

I loved every single second of Smoke and Mirrors. Truly the best drag show I've ever seen.

[@thegabrielhyde]

When I saw this in Brighton in the UK in 2020, Sasha tripped and fell just as she was making her way back on stage (3:40 in this performance)-and immediately turned around and grinned with absolute delight in the unplanned-ness of that moment. Her joy at that happening-which the whole theatre then shared in-made that moment special, so I've always remembered it. Until watching this now, I always wondered if it was secretly planned, and something she did every time, so finding out it really was spontaneous is beautiful.

[@georgygirl64uk]

I was at that show too! 🥰 Genuinely one of the best nights of my life 💕

[@CynthiaLeeFontaineOfficial]

A true professional

[@JPMJPM]

Spectacular!

[@bulbasaur99]

the way she ran, she is soooo cute

[@YippiKyEh]

Second comment I’ve made on this video but I love it so much I gotta. Very much The Prestige vibes. Perfect.

[@sclubber87]

G-O-D-N-E-S-S

[@erickrubio5768]

Just saw this number live in Mexico City, it was magical ✨️✨️

[@giggles7179]

Sasha Velour elevates the spectacular art of drag to places that only exist in her imagination and dreams. Too many people never have the means to pull such vivid imagery from pure inspiration and end up never having shared it with the world in the short amount of time we have. It's truly magic and we are blessed to be living in a time when a spotlight finally lands on such a fascinating visionary.

[@JillyDreadful]

Sasha Velour is the real life version of The Prestige.

SASHA PLEASE BRING THIS BACK TO AUSTRALIA I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS NOOO

[@michaelaboud-wulff2226]

Seeing this number from the edge of the balcony changed my life

[@landofthelivingskies3318]

Sasha Velour is the consummate professional. She's a mysterious black and white silhouette one scene, then a colorful flowing pixie of a goddess the next. The Velour Illusionist.

[@matheuspezentefontanadecas259]

celine def saw this and got so so so so happy, such a performance ♥

[@blushingb0nes]

every single sasha velour performance never fails to give me chills. her concepts are always so strong and effective and her timing is perfect. thank you for sharing your art with the world.

[@CynthiaLeeFontaineOfficial]

This concept is beautiful. I feel represented on this visual art performance. Even of the obstacles , entertainers , the majority , love and enjoy the process into transforming and giving life to our characters , our drag personas . This is a great way to show to the world how Sasha and all the entertainers feel about the transformation and result . Thanks for bring visual art with a purpose . Love you sister

[@garymichaelgallien9382]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@kevinharris3812]

The "Here's What Really Happened..." moment reminds me of Clue :)

[@fairycloudz315]

This was some Parent Trap trickery. Stunning!

[@robdoubleyou4918]

How many times do I need to watch this?! I keep coming back! ❤️

[@Frikata]

My favorite moment of the show! I cried so much during the number and when Sasha came through the door I was over and out 😂 Loved every minute of Smoke & Mirrors ❤❤❤

[@CynthiaLeeFontaineOfficial]

My fav artist , my amazing sister , an amazing song plus art 🖼 love it

[@jaydee8872]

The Theater!!🎭❤❤❤

[@timothyself7864]

Probably the best Drag Show I have ever seen. Howdy from East Tennessee !

[@thewaltest]

Iconiccccc

[@zoefitzgerald2921]

This is one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen, drag or otherwise. Just joyful from start to finish and this number is the cherry on top of a perfect theatrical cake. Sasha Velour is a true artist and an inspiration 🌟

[@MetalMama-Mimi523]

The concept, thought, timing, execution is just perfection. Don't know why I'm shocked....... it's Sasha Velour.

[@muddi-hh]

We saw you in Hamburg/Germany and it was the best show we have seen in our lives: truly magical, out-of-this-world creative, fiercely performed to perfection, with a deep message that resonated with us - it was a glorious evening! Please come back soon! 🙏🙏🙏

[@migdon470]

Rewatched and Im still saying WOW

[@moeHa4ever]

This is pure joy. I remembered this performance a lot last year.

[@reneedecesare3602]

Drag queens always go that extra mile to perform for us! Thank you, Sasha !

[@adian29]

BRILLIANT

[@LemonsRyummeh1]

Ever since seeing this number during the smoke and mirrors tour it has lived rent free in my head and I have always wanted to see it again but there was never any video footage. Seeing this show up on my KZbin homepage may have just made my life complete ❤️❤️❤️

[@LizOwen4ever]

I saw the show at Lille (France) with my best friend. It was a "premiere" for him, at 42, he had never seen a show before and I'm glad it was that one in particular because it was stunning ! Everything was a perfection. I'm probably too emotional because when that song beggined, I started to cry. I don't even know why but it was heartwhelming. And when Sasha came through the doors... what a twist ! We have done a mutual tattoo of Sasha to remember that night and celebrate our long friendship (more than 20 years)

[@cameron8946]

Why did this make me cry though? ♥️

[@dinessaroccia3087]

I cried a few times while watching the whole show live in 2019, and the climax of this song is absolutely one of the emotional points. Sasha crafts her shows so perfectly.

[@kathybuhler360]

I now have a must do on my bucket list I must see Sasha perform such an entertainer born to be an entertainer

[@Mark22WiDax]

Wow 🤩 ❤

[@jouenee]

[@christellehouillon940]

[@sololoco2849]

FLAWLESS ❤️

[@afifshafit3856]

Best drag show ever. I saw this in Amsterdam and now I'm watching it again it got me in tears. so beautiful and inspiring!!

[@migdon470]

WOW!!!!

[@Favb_1980]

I remember watching this at a smalle ñr venue in Chile, and it was A M A Z I N G. As the place was different, she appeared on a spiral staircase which connected to a second floor. No one expected ir, everyone was looking at the screen, then the lights came out. It was a magical and emotional experience.

[@Sara-df7yc]

One of my absolute favourite moments in the show. Thank you Sasha for bringing me back to live. I adore you so much.

[@gabricato]

Mindvlowing

[@paulmcgovern1738]

I saw this show in both Belfast and Dublin and I’m sorry I didn’t see it 2 more times. It was simply sublime .. this entrance gave me a giddy thrill. What a show person

[@mymonkeymovie]

Sasha, I saw you perform at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. This show was magical!

[@patiolinguist]

Brings tears to my eyes every time. I was very fortunate to see Smoke and Mirrors in Prague last year, and this was one of the most beautiful performances.

[@claudiagarzon2167]

I saw this performance in Bogotá last august and it was so perfect and emotional that I can't forget how happy and lucky I felt in that exact moment. Love you Sasha, you make the world a better place with your humanity and art. Hugs from Colombia 🥰

[@divakingsley9020]

Very cool video, now this was true dedication in wearing padding, layers upon layers of opaque tights, corset, and then to top it all off by covering it wearing a caftan. Thanks for posting!

[@pattyconlon154]

I’m so loving the peeks behind the scenes! Saw Smoke &Mirrors in Pittsburgh. This entrance was right beside me- the most thrilling show I’ve ever seen.

[@ROYAL_REBEL]

Queen of Drag Queens.

[@xxcarolxannexx]

I wish I was able to watch these in person. They’re absolutely incredible.

[@erzamalfoy3834]

Maybe the most emotional performance live, with all the narration during the show and all our personal experiences, i thnik it hits a special spot to me. Thank u

[@jon6798]

this is so amazing! I really hope I can see smoke & mirrors one day in person

[@SimplyNikki1982]

Talk about a double whammy of emotions! Watching this at home and my eyes immediately welled up with happy tears seeing the doors open and the joy running down the aisle. But the pure euphoria of seeing the BTS journey leading up to that moment again…my soul smiled. 🥺🥺🥺 Shout out the stage management in black for supporting art in the best ways! As a House Manager I felt that. 🥰🥰🥰

[@hanssolos3699]

stunning AF 💓💓💓

[@desertnaturealliance]

[@shelleynobleart]

Another thoughtful Smoke and Mirrors number. The denouement really enhanced the magic. Brava.

[@valshining]

Queen of the people

[@adelinel.5845]

I was at the Folies Bergères that night with two of my best friends (one being my friend since1999) with tickets I had purchased in november 2019. Dear Sasha, you are one of the best artists of this early XXIth century. Thank you for the beauty you bring. P.S. I was sitting in the center of the "orchestre" along the main aisle. Glad I took my fanny pack off the floor seconds before they opened the doors...😉

[@okeenalasady1321]

Love her , such an artist, I wish I can meet her

Fantastic!! 1000!!💜 💜 💜 💜

[@luqqiklug]

[@kingabobrowska9999]

And now I know that Folies like other Parisian theaters have different exits, too 😁 (I was there, it was even more magical live!) That happiness on the face "yes, I did run through the whole quartier, and I have reached the foyer right on time!"
